Bottled water company sales to boom.

Excerpt from the Courier Mail:

Switch delivers bottlers

31 January 2007

How much will it cost to avoid drinking recycled water when the Government begins pumping it into the mains from late next year?

Experts recommend men drink 2.6 litres of water a day and women 2.1 litres. If a male consumer drank nothing but bottled Evian, his annual drinking water bill could be more than $2200. Cheaper alternatives are available, though.

Local spring water providers deliver 15 litres to the door for about $9.50. At that price, the annual cost to supply each man in the home would be well under $1000.

It's not just a hypothetical scenario.

Bottled water companies expect to be flush with cash when Queensland adds recycled sewage to its drinking supply.

Sales of natural spring water have surged in recent years and suppliers believe the controversial switch to recycled water will further boost sales.
